Like you, I wish it wasn't necessary. But let's put the blame where it really belongs: the Liberals shamelessly distorting facts on asylum seekers to win votes. Without that, I suspect Labor's policy would be less harsh.mollymalonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00353966249430351706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434369190746987531.post-12521723993870902862010-07-06T20:27:41.530+10:002010-07-06T20:27:41.530+10:00Great post Grog.
